Our cool modern bar counter design ideas will make you want to host house parties every weekend!

If there is one element that can take your home’s glam quotient up several notches, it is a home bar. Gone are those days of the ’90s, when bar cabinets used to be bulky pieces of furniture that would take up sizable floor space without adding any hint of style. With better internet access to interior design resources, homeowners are now looking for much more space-saving, stylish options with multi-purpose storage. That’s why we have curated a range of modern bar counter designs for homes that are functional and modern, where you and your guests can enjoy a glass of Chardonnay right at home.

Modern Bar Counter Design For The Balcony

Chill with your friends or soak up the last sun rays during sunset, balcony bars are trending among millennials these days. But being a small space, balcony bar counters demand innovative storage options. Keeping that in mind, we have given the traditional bar design a twist. The best thing about this piece is you can customise it with various colours, finishes, and textures. What’s more, we have multi-purposed our modular shoe rack as additional seating.

House Modern Bar Counter Design With Hidden Cabinet

Who doesn’t love to flaunt their bar collection? But there are some alcohols that age better if kept in the dark, away from sunlight. However, not everyone can afford to have a cellar built, so this hidden bar cabinet is the next best way to store your light-sensitive alcohol. The overall bar setup is sleek, elegant, and highly space-saving. Also, let’s not forget the two mid-century style modern stool bars.

Sleek Modern Mini Bar Counter Designs For Your Home

An expensive alcohol collection often needs to be stored away from sunlight for it to age well. And since modern urban apartments don’t offer us the luxury of a private cellar nor do most of us have the space for a separate wine fridge, this kind of multi-purpose bar cabinet-cum-counter is like having the best of both worlds. The sleek, seamless design of this bar counter is enough to make your guests envy you. It also doubles as extra storage.
